Last night Nens- Herald reporter, on Stroll
ing into Hotel Togni came across Ar. George
W. Web6, Q wel-knswn real estate dealer OF
Lake county. Mr. Wshb informed the reporter
that he was 10 the city waiting for the arrival Of
Dr.. ]. A Bronson. from New York, with whom
he had some business 10 transact. Mr.. webb
explained thai Dr.. Bronson was the President Of
the New York Construction Company, and was
engaged in building q new railroad known ~
the Alabama, Florida and Atlantic, which was
to run from Montgomery, Ala, through ITALIA
hassee, Ocaia, Eustis, Clay Springs aud Mayo;
and thence to the east coast of Florida, which it
will probably strike at Rockled9e, and follow to
Turtle Cove, on Biscayne Bay.
This road, If built, will be one Of the most i'm
portAnt railroads in the State, it will connect
at Montgomery with the Louisville and Nash
Vile system, forming q through connection from
Chicago to deep water 10 the most southeriy
harbor on the mainland of Florida. 1t will be
many miles closer to Cuba than any other road
can possibly get on the Gulf side, and will pass
through almost the entire State. Work is al.
ready being done on the line, and the contrac-
tors. Messrs. Clark & Hodges, have about 500
men at work near Eus,is. Nearly thirty miles
of grading have already been completed
The company will not expect anything from
the State in the way Of land grants, but are
meeting with much encouragement along the
line by property owners. About $4,000 have
been subscribed toward the building of the roa
by citizens Of Lake county alone. The citizens
of Rockledge are also willing to guarantee a
considerable sum in order to insure the building
Of the road to the latter place.
The ultimate destination of the road is in
tended to be Key West, although it may be many
years before the terminus goes beyond Biscayne
Bay, which is one of the finest harbors on the

should be removed. There should be no hesita-

The case of the forger Blackwood,
which for time promised to be- a
causns belli between Georgia and South
Carolina, has now assumed phase
never before known tn international
law. The spectacle is presented of a
State becoming litigant in one of the
lower courts of a sister State. Black
wood, resident of South Carolina,
committed forgery in Augusta, Ca,
and fled to his home. He was followed
by officer Edward Stone, of the Augusta
police, into whose hands the case had
been placed. Stone, accompanied by
John p. McNally, an official of one of
the Augusta banks, aud the man who
cashed the forged checks, went over to
RlackwOOd's house, and, arresting him,
brought him to Georgia without wait
ing tor requisition papers, but Black
woods friends at once brought the
matter before Gov. Richardson.
The South Carolina newspapers sci
up howl, charging Stone and McNally
with kidnapping. Gov. Richardson
requested Gov. Gordon to order Black
woods release, but as the Governor of
Georgia had no power to take any such
step he refused 10 interfere. Then in.
dictmcnts charging Stone and McNally
with kidnapping were found in South
Carolina, aud requisition was made
upon the Governor of Georgia for their
extradition. 1t happened that at the
same time there were pending in Geor-
gia courts criminal proceedings against
Stone and McNally, and under the
Georgia Code the executive warrants
for their extradition must be suspended
until the case in the Georgia courts are
tried aud the sentences, if any, of these
courts fully satisfied.
The next step in the proceedings is a
suit for writ Of habeas corpus brought
by BlackwOod for bis release. In this
suit the State of South Carolina is a
party, and through her Governor and
Attorney General urge Blackwood's
release, asking that the judge of the
Superior Court of Richmond county,
Ca, where the suit was brought, stake
notice of the fact that the State of
South Carolina complains that Ter SOW
ereign rights have been violated by the
alledged kidnapping Of Blackwoed,
aud submits that a proper regard for
those rights under the comfy between
the States should require the release Of
said BlackwoOd." South Carolina thus
submits the whole question AS to
whether the man Blackwood was kid
mapped or not to the Richmond Supe
rior Court in this. There is not
another case of the kind, SO far as
known, in the history OF the United
States, and the proceedings are being
watched with the greatest interest.

Where the Responsibility Lies.
[Shreveport Times. !

The responsibility for the adop-
ton of the "Rutland relief" scheme
by most of the school boards of the
State no doubt rests with Warren
Easton, the peripatetlc educator
and State superintendent, who
issued from his Office the following
circular, published in the last issue
of the DeSoto Democrat
Dear SRI respectfully invite your
attention to the following proposition
of Mr.. w. r. Rutland, an attorney of
merit and character, of Baton Rouge,
La, and earnestly advise yon through
your board, to accept his services and
enter into a correspondence with him.
He says:
81 propose LIST. To carefully ex-
anime the records in the Auditors
office, and in parishes when necessary,
and cause the entire amounts of the
proceeds of the sales of the 10Th sec
tons to be placed to the credit of the
various townships to which they belong.
I'd. To see that no confusion appears
on the Auditors books, arising from
incorrect descriptions Of townships
and ranges, so that one parish NAV not
draw the interest due another, which
is often the case.
Sd. To see that the townships get
correct credits for amounts of the notes
given for the price of the 10Th sections.
As my fee is contingent and does not
come out of the parish treasures,
but out of the interests never collected,
the boards run no risk in getting me
to overhaul the records for them, so
that in future, the parishes may draw
additional amounts of interest upon a
debt which the State has acknowledged,
and ought to pay"
From the above you will see that if
he collects nothing you will have moth
ing to pay. Respectfully.
WARREN EAsTON.

Editor Collar Chronicle:
On Saturday evening last, 14th inst. /
hitched Bill to my buggy and quietly
wended my way from the parsonage IN
the hills to the little town of Colfax, it
being my regular appointment at that
place. The town wore its usual quiet APP
pearance, the term of the district court
had adjourned, the judges and lawyers
had dispersed. and / little dreamed that
there was danger ahead" just as the
sun was setting word came to me from
the editor OF the CoLFAx CHRONICLE to
"step around; want to see you a mo-
ment." Still innocent and unsuspecting
l went along without a minutes hesita-
ton, walked in, and was met by the edi-
tor. He looked like the last man to be
plotting mischief" against any one. At
this juncture Mrs. Judge Richardson ap-
peared on the scene, and, with a kind
"step this way. Bro. Hofpauir," led the
way into small room, that seemed to be
in a rather tumbled up condition. Here
they were joined and reinforced by Sister
Goodwin. The editor, with his quick
eye, perceived at once that with this force
he had his prisoner safe, and that escape
was impossible. He then quietly pro-
ceeded to inform me that he was dele
gated by the people of Colfax to give me
pounding" and that there was nothing
to do but submit. Then producing q
sheet of foolscap he read: "Whereas,
Rev. j. i. Hofpauir is deserving of q
GOOD POUNDING, we the citizens Of Colfax
propose to give it to him as follows"
The "as follows" consisted OF list OF
names of the contributors together with
the numerous articles of value and utility
donated by each individual. Seeing that
it was well organized and preconcerted
thing, l made no attempt at escape. Then
followed the pounding" with an exhibi-
ton of the different articles with which
was to be pounded" too numerous to
be mentioned here, such as coffee, -four,
sugar, tea, rice, soap, starch, table ware,
dry goods, ETC., etc., aggregating all told
fully $25 in value. In fact if the people
of Colfax had had carefully prepared
bill setting forth the various wants of the
preacher and his family, they could not
have supplied them much better.
Thanks to each and every one
j. !. HoFFPAUIR.
I'VE had written a short local relating
to our rencounter with Bro. Hofpauir,
but as he owns up to the pounding" we
substitute his version of the affair as the
most appropriated
